FS7: Scene File Changing Shutter Speed Mistake

[karma17]

I have been experimenting with scene files a lot lately and from what I started with, I'm down to just 3-4 that I really like.

I was struggling with some of the scene files because they looked underexposed, and I was getting fairly frustrated trying to understand why.

But then when I went over the entire process very slowly, I realized I had forgotten that scene files also bring with them the shutter speed from the source file camera! However, the scene file does not change the frame rate, just the shutter speed, thus on some files, I was a stop under exposed with a faster shutter speed I hadn't noticed.

Scene files are a great time saver, but I realize now I have to be vigilant regarding all the changes they can make.

yeah, I have noticed these glitches too. If you go for "all" files instead your date/time and flie naming will be over written from the settings.

I's be interested to know what your favourite scene file settings are.

A related problem, that I don't think has been fixed, is that the shutter speed will be different depending on what frame rate the camera is set for when you save/recall a scene file. For example, if you save a scene file when the cameras is set for 24P and recall that scene file when the camera is set for 30P, the shutter speed will be different.
